20140099446 | Composition for Sealing a Colorant to a Surface, Protecting a Surface, and Providing Wear Resistance to a Surface - A protective sealant composition that is useful for sealing a colorant to a substrate, such as carpet. The protective sealant composition is formulated such that, upon drying, the composition forms a topcoat on the surface of the substrate, with the topcoat having a hard component and a soft component. The composition provides a durable protection against color fading and resoiling to the applied colorant, as well as to the rest of the surface of the substrate. The composition also provides wear resistance to the carpet by reducing the amount that the widths of the top ends of carpet fibers increase when subjected to wearing. | 04-10-2014 |
20140100324 | Composition for providing Wear Resistance to a Surface - A protective sealant composition that is useful for sealing a colorant to a substrate, such as carpet. The protective sealant composition is formulated such that, upon drying, the composition forms a topcoat on the surface of the substrate, with the topcoat having a hard component and a soft component. The composition provides a durable protection against color fading and recoiling to the applied colorant, as well as to the rest of the surface of the substrate. The composition also provides wear resistance to the carpet by reducing the amount that the widths of the top ends of carpet fibers increase when subjected to wearing. | 04-10-2014 |
20140100329 | Composition for Sealing a Colorant to a Surface and/or for Protecting a Surface - A protective sealant composition that is useful for sealing a colorant to a substrate, such as carpet. The protective sealant composition is formulated such that, upon drying, the composition forms a topcoat on the surface of the substrate, with the topcoat having a hard component and a soft component. The composition provides a durable protection against color fading and resoiling to the applied colorant, as well as to the rest of the surface of the substrate. The composition also provides wear resistance to the carpet by reducing the amount that the widths of the top ends of carpet fibers increase when subjected to wearing. | 04-10-2014 |
20140100330 | COMPOSITION FOR SEALING A COLORANT TO A SURFACE AND/OR FOR PROTECTING A SURFACE - A composition for treating carpets. The composition seals and protects a portion of a polyester carpet to which a colorant is applied such that, after the polyester carpet is walked on by 30,000 steps and vacuumed by 600 strokes, the ΔE | 04-10-2014 |
20140303276 | COMPOSITION FOR SEALING A COLORANT TO A SURFACE AND/OR FOR PROTECTING A SURFACE - A composition for sealing a colorant that is applied to a surface, such as carpets. The composition includes a film forming polyurethane dispersion having first and second film forming polyurethane dispersions. The film forming polyurethane dispersion forms a film when applied to the surface, such as a polyester carpet, and the film, upon drying, forms a topcoat on the surface. The first film forming polyurethane dispersion forms a hard component of the topcoat, and the second film forming polyurethane dispersion forms a soft component of the topcoat. The composition also has a solvent that coalesces particles of a surface colorant and causes the particles to flow into the surface, such as carpet fibers, when the composition is applied to the surface. When the composition is dried on a portion of the surface, to which the colorant is applied, the composition seals and protects that portion of the surface. | 10-09-2014 |
20140303307 | COMPOSITION FOR SEALING A COLORANT TO A SURFACE AND/OR FOR PROTECTING A SURFACE - A composition for treating a surface such as carpets. The composition includes a film forming polyurethane dispersion having first and second film forming polyurethane dispersions. The film forming polyurethane dispersion forms a film when applied to a surface such as a polyester fiber carpet, and the film, upon drying, forms a topcoat on the surface (e.g., the polyester fiber carpet). The first film forming polyurethane dispersion forms a hard component of the topcoat, and the second film forming polyurethane dispersion forms a soft component of the topcoat. The composition also has a solvent that coalesces particles of a surface colorant and causes the particles to flow into the surface, such as carpet fibers, when the composition is applied to the surface. The composition seals and protects a portion of the surface, such as polyester fiber carpet, to which the colorant is applied. | 10-09-2014 |
20150044362 | METHOD OF SEALING A COLORANT TO A CARPET - A method of sealing a colorant to carpet. The colorant is applied to the carpet. A composition that coalesces and causes the colorant to flow onto fibers of the carpet is applied. The colorant and the composition are dried. The composition is formulated to form a topcoat on the carpet, such that upon drying the topcoat has a hard component and a soft component. | 02-12-2015 |
20150045473 | COMPOSITION FOR AFFIXING A COLORANT TO A SURFACE, PROTECTING A SURFACE, AND PROVIDING WEAR RESISTANCE TO A SURFACE - A composition includes a first solvent, a second solvent, a first surfactant for maintaining a dispersion of at least one of the first solvent and the second solvent, a first film forming polyurethane dispersion, a second film forming polyurethane dispersion, and a second surfactant for maintaining at least one of the first film forming polyurethane dispersion and the second film forming polyurethane dispersion. | 02-12-2015 |
